Genocide

(This blog will be continuously editted as I gather information. Last updated 6/2/2025)

original rant:

Did you know that officially, as in the conservative estimate provided by the Gaza Health Ministry and over 160 journalists and reporters, the civilian death toll in Gaza is over 50,000 people? That's 50,000 individual lives taken by the state of Israel. Funded by countries like the United States. That is 17 9/11s. That is 20 Pearl Harbors. If a train crash is a tragedy, why the actual fuck is 50,000 civilian lives-- at the VERY LEAST 30% of which are children-- passing under the radar?? Where is the outrage?? 

I can't really sit here and say I've been the best advocate. I've "been on Palestine's side" since this started, but like many others, I've lost focus. There's not really an excuse other than privilege, and I don't want to throw a pity party about my failings when I can regain that focus. With my current knowledge, I don't know if I can do much more than boycott right now, but I really don't want to continue my mediocre at best "activism". I hate this. I hate how quiet it is over here. 

God, that's 50,000 individuals. Civilians, not soldiers either. One baby with parents, who grew up, maybe had some pets, played with their friends, got their first phone!, graduated school, got a job, created art, made mistakes, made a family; just dead. times 5. Multiplied by 100. Times 100 more. I forgot how many real videos I have seen of these people being crushed, sniped, bombed, starved, raped, and beaten. what the fuck 

I don't do much on here but post silly pictures and rant, so I figure I could at least try to use whatever voice I have on here to remind whoever I can about the modern genocides. I need to do more research. I'll share what I can.
